Star Dome Railway's live streaming room

The sparks of the Phase Spirit Fire sneaked through the corridors of the space station.

However, at this moment, a strong suction force suddenly emerged behind him, instantly pulling him in one direction. The fire was panicked, but could not break free from this powerful force.

Finally, he was imprisoned in a small box, which was held in the hands of Latio.

Latio looked at the phase fire in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Just then, Screw Gumm came out slowly.

[Su Chang: Wow! No, from this smile, why do I feel like Professor Latio is the villain! ]

[March 7: He can’t really be a villain, right? Did we misunderstand him?]

【Doctor Zhen: ...Alas】

Latio turned around, glanced at ScrewGum, and asked with a slightly sarcastic tone: "Hmm? The aftermath of the incident has not yet subsided. You should still have a lot of things to deal with, right? Or does the safety of the space station have nothing to do with you?"

ScrewGum was not angry at Latio's words, but seemed very calm. He responded calmly: "Answer: That's why I came here. After all, the real protagonist of the incident is here."

After a moment of silence, Latio asked, "..When did you start to doubt me?"

[Xing: That...does sound like a villain.]

[Gold Dust: Hahahahaha, I'm almost dying of laughter. Professor, is it true that you can't get rid of the villain label? ]

[Sunday: This friend from the Bozhi Society has excellent acting skills.]

ScrewGum replied slowly, "People who engage in academic research always find it difficult to believe in something. On the contrary, it is much easier to question it." This is exactly what Latio said before, but at this moment, ScrewGum used it as an argument to refute him:

"From the beginning, Mr. Radio. I have the same bad habits as you."

Latio remained calm and asked, "I am honored, Mr. Screwgum. But since you have already seen through it, why didn't you say anything?"

ScrewGum explained: "Out of curiosity. Logic: I made the same decision as you: go along and observe."

"Oh..." Latio put his hands on his waist and said, "When did you become sure of this?"

ScrewGum calmly replied, "As for the results, apart from the minor mental damage, no officer was actually hurt in the attack. This is not in line with the style of the Annihilation Gang. Logic: A third party saved them."

Hearing this conclusion, Latio's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a proud smile. He whispered: "If I hadn't accidentally obtained the spiritual fire and interfered with the transmission of the nether fire, those people would have already become space junk floating outside the window."

[Esther: This is also what I found strange before. The people from the Annihilation Gang didn’t harm the staff members..]

[Xing: So Latio knows everything after all! ]

[March 7: You know everything, but you still want to interrogate Xing? ]

ScrewGum's electronic eyes flickered in agreement: "You are more honest than calculated."

Latio raised his voice, his tone full of confidence and provocation: "But it was in your calculations after all, wasn't it?"

He then asked the last question: "The last question: ScrewGum, as a genius like you, can you figure out why I did this?"

After a moment of silence, ScrewGum replied, "I can't be sure, I can only make an inference: saving the weak is the kindness of a doctor; standing aside and letting the situation develop is the severity of a scholar. And staying behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation is a challenge to geniuses."

Latio shook his head slowly, then slowly turned around, staring at the petri dish outside the glass window, and said in a firm tone with a hint of helplessness:

"The King of Screw Star really understands people's hearts, but unfortunately, like geniuses, he is far away from ordinary people. You are still wrong about one thing. Standing aside and watching is the real cure: There is a stubborn disease in this world called "stupidity", which is more difficult to eradicate than any other disease."

[Ahaha: A clumsy hand can be cured by cutting off the hand, but a clumsy brain has no cure~ Oh no, maybe being a liar can be cured, hahahahaha~~]

[Walter: People in the Genius Club don't care about mortals. Although Latio says he hates idiots, he won't really give up on them.]

[Gallagher: Latio and Ruan Mei are really two contrasting characters... Haha, after all, she is a tsundere, so this character is understandable. ]

【Xing: I’m a fictional historian. 】

His eyes were deep and firm, as if he saw through everything in the world. Then he continued: "The fate of intelligence has neither reason nor logic. Geniuses walk among the stars, but mediocre people cannot even catch up with their footprints. Mediocre people can only learn to walk independently and spend their lives in mediocrity by falling and getting up."

"But a failed life is still a life, and they have the right to taste it to the end; and only when they fall to the ground and no one helps them up, can fools understand how to stand up."

"I have mysophobia. I can't stand fools, idiots, and idiots. When I see them, I want to die—" He rolled his eyes: "Unfortunately, this space station is just like the Polymath Society. There are no geniuses, but only mediocrity."

ScrewGum fixed his eyes on Latio and spoke slowly: "What you want to eradicate is the blind faith of the clerks in "genius."

Hearing this, Latio's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "I just listed my doubts, as for the answers... they will explain it themselves."

[Esther: Genius is like a god, and indeed it is out of reach, but we cannot rely on genius blindly, and use our brains to think independently! ]

[Doctor Zhenli: If you don’t have the ability of a genius, you can only get up from failure and keep moving forward. This is the path of mediocrity. One day you will be able to touch the footprints of a genius.]

[March 7: Wow - no wonder he is called Doctor "Truth". I learned something.]

He paused and continued, "Seeking with a negative attitude is also a kind of seeking, and it can also help us reach the right destination. If a group of mediocre people want to be enlightened, this is a necessary process."

ScrewGum looked at the young scholar in front of him, and said with a hint of admiration: "Compared to a scholar, you are more like a "doctor."

Latio smiled slightly, not seeming to be surprised by the other party's comments. He continued, "As for the little sparks I left behind..."

ScrewGum immediately took over the topic: "I believe Ester can handle it properly."

Latio nodded gently: "This is also a task for her."

Latio took another look at the tool that imprisoned the Phase Spirit Fire in his hand, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he casually threw it to the ground. In an instant, the Phase Spirit Fire surrounded him tightly like a burning flame, emitting a dazzling blue light.

When he was about to transfer, he turned to look at ScrewGum and said goodbye to him: "Well, goodbye. I hope I will have the opportunity to meet all of you geniuses in the future. I believe that by then, it will be like today..."

He paused, a faint smile appeared on his face, and continued: "A farce, all kinds of troubles." After saying this, he bowed and said goodbye to Screw Gumm.

"After all, it's just a waste of time." As he finished his last sentence, his figure gradually disappeared in the flames.
